degnoming was so difficult for me at first. My mouse seemed to not be in sync with the gnome and I kept throwing them in the wrong direction. It was definitely the best "game" so far!

At long last, I finally joined Pottermore. I'm AvisRose14525, I'm in Hufflepuff like my sister, and I have a 12 and 3/4 hornbeam wand with a core of dragon heartstring. (Which is almost the same as Ollivander!)
The most difficult thing for me has been the de-gnoming, as well as Potions. Stirring is harder on a touchpad. But I did manage to keep the pudding in the air on the first try!
EDIT:
Does anyone have any tips on brewing Wide-Eye Potions? I've ruined at least two cauldrons because I just didn't have enough time. Is there anything that's easier? I've already done the Cure for Boils three times.

I finally (after two other days of trying, probably last week) figured out how to do the de-gnoming!! Did any of you get any of them over the stump? I did two or so times, I think.

Is there anything that's easier? I've already done the Cure for Boils three times.

At first I did the practice one a lot (aka Cure for Boils). When I felt decent at that, I did it for real... a bunch. Other than that I've only done Antidote to Common Poisons and Herbicide. In my mind, they are the easiest. Every time I try to do another kind I blow up the cauldron. But maybe it'll be different for you... each person is different. I've had some people tell me one kind was easy, only for me to blow up the cauldron on it. So... *shrugs*

My stats:
Brewed: 97 potions
a) Cure for Boils: 59
b) Antidote to Common Poisons: 16
c) Herbicide: 22

(don't know if that helps any. I'm just showing you that we all do the same ones... and more than just three times! there are limited options on what to brew )

Tip: if you think you're gonna blow one up, use the pewter one... it costs less money to replace. or, if you see it about to blow up, hit "back" and start over.

Yeah, I never brew potions. You can earn points a LOT quicker by just doing a wizard's duel (which is my preferred method of gaining points for RAVENCLAW!!!!!!!!!!!)

Anybody know when the rest of CoS will be out?

Not a clue, sorry!

And as for you dueling a lot... that's fine! I do both, but get more points with potions. So it evens out! GO CLAWS!

One question, though... how is dueling quicker? I mean, you usually have to wait for the other person to get back to you. the only way it'd go fast, is if you were both on at the same time.

If you just click on one of the houses under "Challenge a House" you usually get a response to your duel in less than 1 minute.

So far I've lost the only duels I've been in with another house. But I probably will practice more to win points, since my Potions skills are about on a level with Neville's.
Has anyone else done the de-gnoming yet? My personal record is six, though the last time I didn't get any because all my gnomes kept flying in the opposite direction and falling in the pond. Maybe I'll turn one into a Christmas tree angel

I've recently started playing Pottermore. Last time I played it I was put in Hufflepuff and doing the first spell is really hard. I haven't continued in the game while still trying to figure out that spell.

I finally made an antidote to common poisons!

Wow, it's been ages since anyone posted in here!

So, has anyone been playing still? Personally, I took a break for a few months (I think... if that). But I'm back on now, and in book 2. One problem...

I can't figure out how to get into the Slytherin Common Room!

Anybody have any ideas or tips? I'd sure appreciate the help! In other news, now I think I know how the Hufflepuffs felt a few months ago. (Ravenclaws are currently in 4th place )

I haven't played for months either, I might have a go next week sometime, I don't think I remember my account name or password, My account name is in the thread so I can find that.

I had the same trouble. If you aren't a Slytherin, you have to make Polyjuice Potion (yes, actually BREW the stuff). Three of the ingredients have to be found within the moments. I suggest using this site to help you with that. There's also another potion that you have to brew in order to make some of the ingredients appear. *Sigh*

I suggest we all start practicing our potions making. I feel like I would have been much better at this in real life than I am in the games.

I'm still enjoying the new stuff from Rowling, and finding things within the moments, but overall I'm still less than thrilled with the site because it isn't quite as interactive with the books as I first thought it would be and honestly, I don't think the games are that great.

Thanks for the information, Smalls!

I could be wrong, but I think the next House Cup will be awarded soon. Guess we should all get busy, if we want our respective houses to do well! (Fellow, 'Claws? That goes double for us... we're in last place!)

I am having a terrible time brewing polyjuice potion . . . Where's Hermione when you need her?

Digsy, were you still having trouble with that potion? Because we could form a study group, if you wish. (I successfully managed to make it. no cauldrons blew up or anything! ) So, yeah...

I hope they open book 3 soon... or add more stuff to the first two books. I finished book 2 this afternoon. I guess now all my time on the site will go towards trying to get more points for the House Cup!

Not a bad idea, I suppose... our house needs all the help it can get!
